Thinking of the food falling from the sky, the entire Tang Dynasty hall was boiling, and everyone was overjoyed. Li Xuan's words, like a lightning bolt in the dark night, gave everyone in the Tang Dynasty hall light and hope, and gave everyone inexplicable confidence and encouragement, they all believed in Li Xuan, who had great powers, and believed that food would fall from the sky.

Such an idea is a little unbelievable and whimsical, but when it really comes to this kind of time, what is received every day is the emergency document of the food running out (qing) from all over the Tang Dynasty and the people starving to death, but all the officials in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, understand that there is no grain in the granary of the Tang Dynasty that can be used for disaster relief, and everyone is in a heavy mood and full of despair, but at this moment, Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an, who has immortal means, said: After five days, nearly 10 million stones of grain will fall from the sky. Although this is a bit like a fantasy when you think about it, it is not reliable at all, but the people in the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, or the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty, would rather believe that what Li Xuan said is true, which is an instinctive belief and instinctive recognition in people in desperate situations.

This is like a man walking in the desert, he has been out of water for several days, and he may die of thirst at any time due to lack of water, but at this time, someone told him that there is an oasis five hundred meters ahead, with a small river, no matter how unbelievable the person who told him is, how unreliable the person's character is, the person who is about to die of thirst will definitely use all his strength to go to the place five hundred meters ahead, to find the oasis, to find the small river. This is a human instinct, an instinct to survive, an instinct to be willing to struggle again until the last moment.

Today's Tang Emperor Li Shimin and the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty are all like this, they are all looking forward to five days later, nearly 10 million stone of grain will fall from the sky like heavy rain as Yong'an said to Li Xuan.

Day 5. Just now, that is, at 0 o'clock in later generations, almost all the officials of the Tang Dynasty got up one after another, looking up at the starry sky in the courtyard, looking forward to life-saving food, falling from the sky; And the Tang Emperor Li Shimin got up earlier, he got up early, sat on the steps outside the Taiji Palace, looked up at the sky, and looked forward to the miracle. Looking forward to countless grains that can save the people of the Tang Dynasty and fall from the sky.

Time slipped away little by little, and gradually the sun rose and the sky brightened, but the food that everyone was looking forward to to survive did not fall from the sky. Everyone felt a sense of loss, and the Tang Emperor Li Shimin was even more tearful, with a bitter face, he knew in his heart: if there is no food. The people of the Tang Dynasty will gradually die, and the society of the Tang Dynasty will gradually be overthrown by the hungry people, and they will be like Yang Guang, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, bearing all kinds of notoriety. Become the king of the dead country and leave a stench for 10,000 years.

And at this moment, there was a person who came to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

That man led tens of thousands of troops to escort hundreds of carriages into Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Then he walked into Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, walked into the Tang Palace, and walked outside the gate of Taiji Palace.

I saw someone coming. Tang Emperor Li Shimin asked in surprise: "King Zhaojun, how did you come to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

The person who came was Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhao County of the Tang Dynasty and the governor of Jingzhou.

Li Xiaogong bowed respectfully to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that my Tang Dynasty has suffered from natural disasters and the court is short of food. Chen Xingye also transported 10 million stones of grain from Jiangnan to support the imperial court and alleviate the current predicament of our Tang Dynasty. ”

I heard that Li Xiaogong actually transported 10 million stone grain to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, at once. Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty stood up from the stone steps in surprise at that time, and said happily: "What Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an, said is true. Five days later, grain fell from the sky, and nearly 10 million stone of grain fell from the sky. ”

In the early dynasty, Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, led hundreds of civil and military officials out of Chang'an City on foot, and saw 10 million stone grain sent by Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun and the governor of Jingzhou. The Tang Emperor and the officials of the Tang Dynasty were stunned in place, rubbing their eyes desperately, they couldn't believe what they were seeing. It's as if they're dreaming in broad daylight. They didn't expect that the life-saving food really fell from the sky, and it was sent by Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhao County of the Tang Dynasty and the governor of Jingzhou.

10 million stone grain, who would have thought that Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhao County of the Tang Dynasty and the governor of Jingzhou, who had always been in charge of military affairs and didn't care about money and food, would raise so much grain to support the imperial court?

Tang Emperor Li Shimin was also very surprised, and he asked Li Xiaogong: "King Zhaojun, where did you raise so much food?" ”

The eyes of all the ministers of the court also looked at Li Xiaogong in unison, and they all looked forward to Li Xiaogong's answer.

Li Xiaogong bowed to Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty and said, "Your Majesty, five years ago, Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an, was the chief of the march of the southeast road of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, he secretly said to me, 'A few years later, there will be a great drought in the Tang Dynasty, which will last for two years, the rivers will dry up, the grain will not be harvested, the fire dragon will be raging, and the fields will be thousands of miles away. After the drought, the locusts crossed the border, no grass was grown, all the livestock died, hunger (piao) was everywhere, and the imperial court had no food to save', so he suggested that I lead more than 200,000 elites in the south of the Tang Dynasty to carry out tuntian.

Tang Emperor Li Shimin asked: "King Zhaojun, have you been leading more than 200,000 troops in the south of the Tang Dynasty in Tuntian in the past five years?" How much grain have you harvested in the past five years? ”

Li Xiaogong said with joy on his face: "The more than 200,000 troops under my command are all in Tuntian on both sides of the Yangtze River, so the drought in the first two years has little impact on Tuntian. And this year's locust plague, for some reason, did not reach the place where our southern army of the Tang Dynasty was tuntian. The southern climate is humid and sunny, which is suitable for growing rice. Rice is more than two or three crops a year. In the past five years, my southern tuntian can be said to have had bumper harvests year after year, and the harvest has been quite abundant. The army of more than 200,000 people harvested a total of 35 million stones, which is enough for more than 200,000 elites in the south to eat for 60 years, and enough for the 4 million people in the whole country of our Datang to eat for three years. ”

35 million stone grain, which surprised the Tang Emperor Li Shimin and the officials of the Tang Dynasty. 35 million stone of grain is enough for four million people in Datang to eat for three years, which is the best news heard in these years. Everyone felt very excited, they had food in their hands, and they were still afraid of any natural disasters? (To be continued......)
